When I heard about this I became very happy. At last, we are now celebrating life with culture and spiritual tolerance, being one despite of diversities of traditions, race, culture, languages, customs, philosophies and upbringing. EarthDance Festival is a festival celebrated in over 300 locations in more than 50 countries around the world every year (www.earthdance.org). EarthDance Festival is an opportunity to celebrate Culture and the Environment. It is an opportunity for raising community awareness, particularly amongst young people. EarthDance Festival has been celebrated in Manila in 2008 and 2009.
Well, this time, I think it's getting bigger, this world's largest synchronized showcasing of music and dances will take place in over 500 locations and 80 countries. The very essence of this gathering is joining the world in a Prayer for Peace.
